@article{Zetterberg2019BiomarkersFA, title={Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease beyond amyloid and tau}, author={Henrik Zetterberg and Jonathan M. Schott}, journal={Nature Medicine}, year={2019}, volume={25}, pages={201-203} }
Two new biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease include one in the blood that relates to neurodegeneration and another that reflects blood–brain barrier dysfunction and is identifiable in cerebrospinal fluid analysis.

Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected longitudinally in research participants in the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network (DIAN), a multicenter, international biomarker study of ADAD, revealed reductions in amyloid-β1–42 (indicating the presence ofAmyloid plaques) and increases in markers of neuronal injury (tau, ptau181, and VILIP-1) in mutation carriers during the early presymptomatic stage.
